Need more magnesium?

Health Canada says nearly half of all Canadians are deficient in this crucial mineral, which can lead to symptoms such as restless legs, muscle cramps, migraines, fatigue, anxiety and insomnia, to name a few.

Designed to deliver more magnesium

When designing our line of magnesium supplements, we knew that simply providing more magnesium wasn’t enough. We wanted to create a magnesium that works for everyone.

One that can provide more magnesium, yes, but also one that is eminently absorbable and remarkably gentle.

One that would work in the face of today’s challenges. Meals with low dietary magnesium. The drugs and chemicals that block the essential mechanisms of absorption. And the stressors that deplete our stores faster than before.

And so we went and did just that.

Magnesium. A complete primer.

This resource is an excellent starting point that explains why magnesium is important, how it works and how it can help you.

Are you magnesium deficient?

Take a 2 minute quiz to find out if you are magnesium deficient.

Magnesium. Why is it so tough to get enough?

Even traditionally magnesium-rich foods like leafy green vegetables and whole grains may not be good sources of magnesium. Why? They are grown in nutrient-depleted soil, thanks to modern agricultural practices.

Processed foods have even less. For example, further refining can remove up to 97% of magnesium from foods like breads and pasta. Glass Cup

And your water supply? Municipal water treatment usually removes much of the mineral content.

Nuts!

While most sources have been stripped of their magnesium content, it is comforting to know there are still some magnesium-rich options.

For example, a handful of dry roasted almonds can provide 80 milligrams of magnesium. That’s 20% of the recommended daily intake.

Bring some for your next snack!

Whether it’s phosphates in soda or gastrointestinal conditions like IBS, many facets of our lives can impair the absorption of the magnesium we do get.

Medicine

Drug-induced nutrient depletion is also widespread. Diuretic anti-hypertensives and mineral-binding antibiotics can block magnesium before your gut even has a chance to absorb it.

Signs you are not getting enough magnesium 

Prone to migraines? Anxiety keeping you up at night? What may seem like everyday aches and pains could point to magnesium deficiency.

Modern life causes our bodies to expend and excrete more magnesium. For instance, when we’re stressed, magnesium is expended to produce cortisol.

Also, alcohol consumption and blood sugar sensitivity may cause our kidneys to eliminate more magnesium.

Symptoms associated with magnesium deficiency

  • Restless leg syndrome
  • Muscle Cramps
  • Insomnia
  • High blood pressure
  • Bowel disease
  • PMS
  • Kidney stones
  • Heart palpitation
  • Fatique
  • Mental confusion

Is there a test for that? 

Magnesium deficiency is not something that normally shows up in a blood panel. So it is important to be familiar with the symptoms of magnesium deficiency.

Magnesium – essential to your health

How magnesium helps give your body what it needs

From protein synthesis to cellular metabolism, every cell in your body uses magnesium. It powers 800 different biochemical reactions in your body!

Regulates heart rhythm and helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels

Keeps muscles functioning normally

Plays a key role in building strong bones and teeth, aiding in calcium absorption

Relaxes muscles and nerves, calms the mind

The right form for best results

Not all magnesium supplements are created equal. Some forms of magnesium are poorly absorbed, which can lead to stomach upset and diarrhea.

Magnesium bis-glycinate is magnesium paired with glycine, an amino acid beneficial for your body. It is considered to be a superior form that is easily absorbable and easier on your stomach – meaning you can get the most out of your magnesium supplement, without any grief for your bowels.

Choose the magnesium that is right for you.

“Let me start off by saying ElectroMag is an excellent product! One of the key noticeable differences I have seen with using this product is that with sustained use I have experienced less shin pain from running. Also, when I perform high intensity workouts such as interval training or hill repeats I find that my body feels refreshed the next day.”
